A break-up Affair

What will I say to this person?

If I manage to go over there?

Start talking, chatting

in my quest to make a friend?

Be more active, more strong-minded

That’s what I try to tell myself

but this feeling I get inside my chest

I succumb, I’m overwhelmed.

The thoughts they are there

In my mind thus the negativity spreads

From my mind to my body to my heart

Then ultimately to my legs.

This, it does, thus breaking apart

Any courage I’ve arranged

to start moving with a positive will

Towards making a change.

Make a change, be the one

who shouts “Enough is Enough!”

Oh! How I wish to make a better person

of myself, but the road’s going to be rough!

Still, yet, I’ll stand and say…

Dear fear, these words are for you.

And your partner,anxiety

deserves to hear them too.

Listen! I know we’ve been together

for many years!

But I’ve come to the conclusion that

this affair we’ve got going,

has to come to an end!

I once thought you two were protecting me

by keeping me from getting hurt

but thankfully, I now realize that you both

were only holding me back.

There’s a myriad of things I want to do

In order to go after them,

I have to be rid of the both of you.

Now then, in recognition of our

relationship’s death;

These last few words, I leave you:

Au revoir! Adieu! Goodbye! I will not miss you!
